Help us fight coronavirus

Hygiene is key for saving lives.

Our work is needed more than ever where water and sanitation are lacking.

The COVID-19 pandemic especially threatens the 3 billion people who do not have access to adequate handwashing facilities with soap and water in their homes.

We at the Foundation stand side by side with those most vulnerable to this dramatic pandemic, that is why we are working in new projects, encouraging education and good hygiene practices, providing facilities and applying our expertise in communities where we have already guaranteed the access to water and sanitation to more than 700,000 people.

Personal hygiene, based on handwashing, is and continues to be an essential factor to eradicate epidemics like diarrhea or pneumonia, which cause the death of more than 800 children per day in the world’s most disadvantaged communities. And right now it is a fundamental tool that, together with the social distance, will allow us to fight COVID-19.

We need to do even more now!

The coronavirus pandemic is a new lethal factor in these poor regions with hardly any health resources.
